    Submit a story, then, and don't spam unrelated ones.

  2. Forks and knives represent millenia-old technology, yet we don't perceive a need to "improve" upon them.

  3. Apple are in fact the outfit that started this particular race to the bottom, so Yes, we do in fact blame Apple.

    Or you could, you know, grow the fuck up, instead of making such a big show out of pretending not to be butthurt. Just a thought.

    Hell, I'm still pissed off over having to accept an S6 as a replacement for my stolen S5 and to endure the attendant loss of removable battery and SD card.

    Apparently no-one wants the S6 badly enough to pick my pocket for it, though, so lucky me, I guess.

    If Jesus returned today, I think he would be shocked and dismayed to learn that he's the centre of a religion. Especially one that manages to ignore as inconvenient a great deal of what he actually taught.

    "All New" - in reference to a single TV show/episode. Grrrr ...

  16. Re:The house always wins on Online Journalists Launch An Onslaught Against Donald Trump (nytimes.com) · · Score: 2

    For the benefit of some of our readers who've not been out of the basement in a while: A "casino" is a place where you insert 2 week's salary into something called a "slot machine" and they try to fool you into thinking that you've still managed to come out "ahead" because you got a "free" steak dinner + 2-3 drinks out of the deal. So you can maybe see why The Donald might be challenged to make a profit in this scenario. I think anyone would be, no?

    Oh, wait--you say he owned the casino? Um... I'll get back to you, thanks.

    So you're saying that Trump's a semi-successful demagogue, and this qualifies him to be President. Just checking.

    Guns can be used to commit a crime too. A lot of crime involves a gun. But we don't ban those, right?

    Let me know when bash gets decent XML API support.

    More seriously: I spend a fair amount of time processing XML and/or transforming it to/from other things. Sometimes it's easier to write a stylesheet and then call xsltproc from a bash script. Other times, it's easier to use something like DOM, which PHP supports. (I'm sorry, as much as I love some of Python's features, the whitespace nonsense just drives me bonkers.) And of course you can invoke PHP scripts from bash and vice versa as well.

    Just be glad you don't have to use my apps, which, fortunately, only I and occasionally members of my team have to suffer with. :-)
